Get ready to step up your cooking game with a classic staple: black-eyed peas. This dish marries the earthy flavors of dried peas with the smokiness of ham for New Year's Day or any other time.

16 ounces dried black-eyed peas, rinsed and sorted
1 medium onion, diced
1/2 cup diced ham
1 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
black pepper, to taste
water, as needed
Soak the peas overnight in cold water. Drain well and add to the crock pot.
Add the onion, ham, garlic, seasoned salt, and black pepper as desired. Add enough water to just cover the peas. Stir well.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 8 hours or until the peas are tender.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
